Was afraid I was going to be fired last week and after the initial shock and dismay I realized how relieved I felt to finally be free. Eight years in and feels like it’s finally time to move on. (Ctd)

Found out I will not be and am just taking a compliance hit but now kind of feeling like I should leave if I feel that way

FSC, he didn't get fired. Only dinged, according to the above. Maybe a subpar rating.

OP, I left D in spite of high ratings and got a sizeable bump (>50%) to do less demanding work. So much validation.

Yeah, might be time to take the plunge. At least you'll know what you're actually worth. I struggle with that, always feeling like I'm a step behind the leaders. That said, even the 4th quintile at D is pretty strong compared to the general population.

They actually did not, I got a compliance hit because they do an audit of expenses forever to a random group per year, didn’t know you couldn’t expense health club while traveling with a gym membership as a monthly expense without prior partner approval (around 60/month, well below our 20/day that doesn’t need approval), and I have been doing that for more than four years without being told otherwise. Also had a slew of flight changes in there that were unapproved over the years, and they were another item included in the audit. So, my ignorance hurt me which is my fault but also feeling like I should have been reprimanded earlier

I as well am in tech, got a rad offer from a boutique firm a few months ago for a 20% raise, didn’t take it because I was afraid of change at the time and didn’t know if that city was where I saw my future. Now regretting it, hit them up again with hopes they will respond.

DD1 thank you so much for your quick response. Kind of feeling in crisis tonight about it all. (Is a 30 year old crisis a thing?) also know you are always doing well if you are hanging in there and not being fired. You can do this, or have a come to moment like I am having now

Was local for first four years and then started traveling with no prior travel knowledge and made dumb assumptions

DD1 that is awesome! Did you end up in industry/startup/small firm or did you go to another big firm?

Wait you booked more dollars on flights then you should have and pinged you? That seems absurd. Did you tell them you couldn’t make other flight times?

OP, I am being audited now for two expense reports? Would you kindly explain how the process worked for you?

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

TELUS culture is one of the strongest aspects of Telus.

Telus is one of the most friendly and encouraging companies to work for. Telus doesn't layoff unless it has too (Telus will place you elsewhere instead). Telus is one of those workplaces that people stay for decades and refer their families and friends. You will not be disappointed at Telus if positive work environment is important to you.
